‘We’ll Double Revenue This Year’: Anduril’s CEO on Growth, Shutdowns and Space War

It’s hard to think of a company that faces a bigger perception gap than Anduril. Talk to investors in Silicon Valley, and they will be clamoring to get in on its next round—last priced at $30 billion. Talk to generals and others in the traditional defense industry, and they’ll ask whether the eight-year-old company has any contracts yet. (The answer is they do.)

To get to the truth between the views, I always enjoy chatting with the company’s CEO and co-founder, Brian Schimpf, whom I interviewed on The Information’s TITV this week and find to be a very thoughtful leader.
